Beautiful room! The courtyard was very pretty as was the lobby. The staff was extremely helpful in finding my daughter a quiet place to wrap a last college exam before our room ready (we arrived early for check in.) looking forward to a future stay.
Great location! Clean rooms. Breakfast is extremely fresh especially the fruit, but it is a continental with no meat. A hard-boiled egg is the only protein. Don't think you are going to get an omelet and bacon. Coffee in the common area was luke warm/getting cold most of the time. We ended up door dashing for Starbucks. BUT I will say that you cannot beat the location. Right in the heart of King with everything walkable. I would still pick this hotel again for the location alone.
perfect location for Charleston Library society and a long list of excellent small shops right outside the door. Breakfast was simple but good - all I needed.
The lack of available water other than from the faucet inside the hotel was a bit of a problem.. a source of bottled water would have been wonderful. Staff all excellent..welcoming and helpful.
Enjoyed our stay at Kings Court great location staff was friendly and helpful rooms were clean and spacious good complimentary breakfast you could have delivered to your room
Great hotel in a great Charleston location. Room was small but very comfortable. Friendly staff, tasty continental breakfasts, evening wine and cheese, nightly sherry.
This hotel is beautiful - from the architecture, lobby, outdoor spaces, to the rooms. Our hotel room was spacious with lovely furnishings. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. I especially loved having the delicious croissants, pastries and coffee delivered to our room each morning and the wine and cheese/crackers happy hour each day. It is also very walkable - to shops, restaurants, bars, the fountain, waterfront. We wandered the streets looking at all the beautiful century homes. Parking is in a garage a short walk behind the hotel. There is an empty lot directly behind the hotel...not sure why the hotel does not use it?. But the garage was fine. We had a wonderful time in Charleston and when we return, we will definitely stay at Kings Courtyard again!
What a lovely hotel! It was clean and welcoming. Loved the relaxing patio area, which offered free breakfast in the morning and free wine in the evening! Everywhere we wanted to go was within walking distance, would definitely stay there again!
Amazing place, beautiful courtyard, friendly and accommodating staff, wine tasting for the guests, brandy tasting on certain days, more than enough towels in the room, and such a great location!
